Novel Full Chapter 157
—–
The Holy Dragon grew frustrated and restless, he was being manhandled like nothing by this damn spirit, and it seemed that beheading it won’t work either! This was perhaps because the spirit itself still had a large quantity of its spiritual energy assembled into a body. When a spirit is strong enough, they are able to take severe damage but continue fighting.
Spirits are not like humans or other conventional living beings, even demons or monsters cannot completely compare with how spirits physiology works, although they can be incredibly frail and disappear with a single and strong blow into the head, when they are strong enough, even a blow in the head won’t easily take them down.
This is because spirits are made with what’s called Spiritual Energy, a special energy that is contained within the Spirit Orbs of humans in the world of Spiritias. This spirit is condensed and compacted through the power of Mana and Aether. Each Spirit has a soul by themselves, spiritual souls, even if they die, they can be infinitely summoned back again, revived! However, depending in the strength of the soul, they’ll take a long time to wake up once more and be ready to be summoned and fight.
Spirits utilize the Mana of their masters and their own Aether to compact their spiritual energies into a body, materializing it into existence, naturally, they don’t have internal organs but do have something akin to blood, which is the liquification of their spiritual energies flowing across their materialized bodies, which allows them to better spread their power around their bodies.
And because of this, spirits can be beheaded and survive if their spirit, Aether, and mana is high and strong enough! and this demon spirit was unique, as it also implemented demonic energy into its spiritual body, and his soul was that of a demon forcefully fused with the master’s original spirit.
Even while he was beheaded and his sliced neck was constantly “bleeding” and leaking a lot of precious energy in the form of a liquid spiritual essence, the demon was relentlessly fighting and alive as ever! He used his enormous strength to take ahold of the Holy Dragon’s tail, pushing him down into the ground ruthlessly and quite mercilessly.
BOOOM!!!
The demon’s head smiled from the distance, as the holy dragon looked at it! He was flabbergasted to realize the head was still somehow conscious even if afar from the body, and to make it worse, the head suddenly gained large and skinny spider-like legs, and started to crawl around the battlefield, slowly attempting to fuse back with the spirit body!
“I cannot let him do as he pleases…!” Muttered the Holy Dragon, he was going to fight and not let this demon get closer to Ellergest at the very least, no matter what.
Meanwhile, above the ground, a fight between humans continued. The wicked Cassandra had unleashed her powers and revealed her true identity as a Demon Worshiper and a Demon Sorcerer, with the intention of using her curses to make the entire Copperhand Family succumb to her will and her wicked desires, Ellergest couldn’t stand this anymore and fought her. their spirits were fighting by their own, but she was a tricky woman, she knew that killing the master was easier.
However, in her attempt at assassinating Ellergest when he lowered his guard in the last moments, the boy known as Blank by Ellergest, or as we know him, Blake, emerged with incredible speed and reflexes, unleashing a wonderful technique using his cursed spear.
“Y-You’re a mere kid…!” Muttered Cassandra, bewildered by the appearance of the boy that could reflect her explosive demon daggers with the movements of his spear.
Blake looked back at her expressionlessly, despite having the appearance of a child, the enormous pressure he emanated was not… normal at all.
“A mere kid? I suppose you’re right. I am merely a kid.” Said Blake without even denying the truth.
“Blank, you saved my life there… But… What kind of technique was that? I have… never seen anybody use such powers before… Is this magic? And that spear… Wait… this demonic power… Don’t tell me you have…!” Muttered Ellergest, his wisdom quickly helped him at figuring out the truth. However, Blake ignored him.
“Ellergest, you’re old and slow, stay behind me, support me with your magic.” Said Blake.
“What?! You’re not telling me that you’re fighting this woman?!” He asked.
“I can handle her.” Said Blake, although he seemed to be a bit nervous deep down. “As long as your dragon keep that demon busy.”
“You… Just what… what kind of children are you, Blank?” Asked Ellergest in disbelief of his enormous and endless confidence. The boy seemed to be ready to fight without even hesitating, Ellergest couldn’t even see any sort of fear on his eyes, his hands were not trembling, nor his eyes were looking around terrified. Although he was sweating severely due to pushing his human body to its limits to do what he did, he was completely… confident.
An endless confidence forged through thousands of years of living in the harsh environments of the Outer Universe, after battling countless wars, defeating countless enemies, and conquered countless worlds… the human boy standing before Ellergest was something that the old man would never be able to possibly imagine!
“Would you stop asking stupid questions?” Sighed Blake, ignoring Ellergest as his eyes flashed with bright red light, a second after, Cassandra flew to his back and clashed against him. He was barely able to see through her movements because Ellergest was annoying him so much with pointless questions. The woman had shrouded herself in shadows and moved at such a speed that even surpassed Eleanora!
CLAASH!
Her claws suddenly grew longer, like those of a demon, as Blake quickly realized she was not just a summoner of a demon spirit, but she had also cursed herself, and had most likely drank demon blood as well! Blake noticed that her body continuously turned redder, and her ears grew pointer, alongside her eyes that had become crimson red, she easily gave off the aura of a demon…
“So you’re also transforming yourself into a Lesser Demon…?” Wondered Blake.
